This was a great day trip boat tour, lots to see as you go around the island. Animals are everywhere and it's such a unique looking island.

If you always wanted to be a super villain, this is your drink spot. A 30 min zodiac ride along the cliff and through the needle hole will convince you to move in with your 'mini you'. The beach and the snorkeling is nice afterword with pleasant sand

Not much hiking but a nice beach area. I chose to stay on the boat but my husband walked up and down the beach looking for sights and did not come back with anything interesting

See my report for Galapaguera, this small volcano crater is included in that tour, the crater is full of water resulting in a fresh water lagoon where the frigates (tijerertas or fragatas in Spanish) go to get rid of the salt in their wings

Snorkeling with sea lions near the most beautiful beach was amazing. Sand like baby powder, sea lions, iguanas and wonderful marine life. I could have stayed forever.

Absolutely beautiful beach. It did help that - although we came in overcast Garúa season - the sky cleared up just as we arrived. Tours to León Dormido don't always hail at Cerro Brujo (the farthest beach on the east coast), but when you get the chance, try to take a tour that includes Cerro Brujo. Beaches are really beautiful: white sand, turquoise water, sea lions to come and frolic with you as you swim around. Water is pretttty cold, but who cares when the spot is so fantastically idyllic as this.

We snorkeled here in September 2014 and the water was both cold and cloudy. We saw lots of fish, but no sea lions chose to swim with us. Lots of sea lions all over the beach and a very noisy male kept warning us away from his harem of females whenever we swam near the pack on the beach. Pretty enjoyable!In other months this could be a great place to swim. If you are there in the coorer season bring your wet suit.

One of the most beautiful places I've visited. So mysterious and enchanting...White sand beach, volcanic rocks, turquoise and crystalline water, blue footed boobies, iguanas....what else could you ask for? magic place!!!

While our group was there, my cruise mates reported that the snorkeling was not great;as the visibility was poor. But the emerald green water and super fine sand more than make up in terms of the scenic beauty of the place.Prior to coming to the beach, we were shown some picturesque cliffs including one called 'The Cathedral'. Wild life appears limited except for finches and yellow warblers. Several types of small fishes were swimming in a shallow pool.A fine place for a walk.

Lovely white sandy beach with lots of wildlife, however lots of horseflies. Also sand was so fine the water was not crystal clear so snorkelling vision not great

We did a great zodiac/panga ride around Cerro Brujo. We went into the cathedral cavern, but were unable to go through the tunnel as the tide was too high. The beach there is nice, also. Diving is extreeeemely average. We did one dive here and the visibility was not great and there was very little sea life. I would expect snorkelling would be much the same. I would advise two dives at Kicker Rock instead.

a diferencia de león dormido que su principal atracciones, en cerro brujo son los peces, es muy bello el lugar, bueno como todo galapagos

Fuimos a esta playa como parte del tour León Dormido. Apenas se llega se empiezan a ver aves e iguanas conviviendo muy tranquilamente. También en lugar de anidación, así que hay que respetar los senderos. Caminás unos 100 m y llegás a la playa. La vista es impresionante, el agua de un color turquesa increíble, pocas olas, arena fina blanca, un paraíso. Buen lugar para hacer snorkel, vimos bastante, buena visibilidad. Una lástima que no nos pudimos quedar más tiempo, ya que había que seguir con el tour, pero daba para quedarse disfrutándola todo el día!Esta playa está a 40 minutos de Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, pero creo que solo se puede visitar dentro de un tour, con guía.

Am besten man bucht für einen Tag ( 6-7 Std. ) ein Boot mitKapitän und schippert die gesamte Westküste bis Punta Pitthoch ( ca 500$ ) . Man sieht mit etwas Glück praktisch alleswas San Cristobal zu bieten hat. Seelöwen am Cerro Brujo,am Punta Pitt alle Arten von Tölpeln . Nistende Pelikane,Meeresschildkröten, Fregattvögel und vielleicht sogar eineDelfinschule. Die Tour ist jeden Dollar wert!

Llegamos sin saber donde íbamos por medio de un tour que nos llevaba a león dormido y superó amplia mente mis expectativas!! Una extensa playa de finísima arena blanca, el mar de un color turquesa cristalino y la variedad de especies desde iguanas gigantes a pájaros de todos los tamaños es de no creer. Es ideal para caminarla o echarse en la arena y contemplar. Lastima que sólo estuvimos un rato porque la verdad es que es para pasar el día entero ahí!! La playa más linda en todo el viaje por las islas!!
